Hello everyone! Even though I've been reading this list for a couple of months now, this is my first posting. I could really use your help. My oldest ferret (a 4 year old male with no history of any medical conditions) suddenly got letargic and started producing a lot of viscous saliva fluid. He lacks strength. This is the second time this happens to him. The first time we rushed him to the vet and he gave him Potassium mixed with hair ball remedy because he seemed to be having some difficulty breathing (he didn't want to run all the tests without trying it first). He called it a "jump-start" on my little furry's heart. His temp was normal, but he said he heard "something". He didn't say a murmur, or what. I'm worried about atrial/ventricular gallop or other type of cardiomyopathy. Has anyone seen this kind of condition before? Today he presented the same symptoms so I gave him banana (the only kind of potassium I could think of) mixed with milk because he loves milk but hates banana. He is doing better right now, playing with his 3 sisters, but I don't like not knowing what is happening. I'd prefer to receive replies to my email account. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you all. Joe [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 3694]
